Sports Specific Training is the hallmark of GTF. Our roots are based in athletics and we are passionate about optimizing our athletes' potential, and also developing athletes from the ground up. We focus on the fundamental principles that make each athlete great: strength, speed, explosive power, balance, and agility. We understand that each sport demands a delicate combination of the above principles; therefore, we train our athletes according to the specific requirements of their sport.
GTF trains professional athletes seeking to perfect their game, college athletes trying to stand out and take their game to the next level, and high school and junior high students trying to achieve peak performance in their competitive or recreational sport of choice. The common denominator in all of our sport specific training is hard work. Our programs are designed to be intense, fast-paced, cutting edge, and motivating. Further, we strive to help build athletes who are inspired, physically well-rounded, mentally confident, and conduct themselves with sportsmanship and integrity.
